8"02.11ad, or WiGig, is a very interesting technology. Though it is firmly based on the same underlying principles as other 802.11 technologies, including a/b/g/n/ac, at the same time it is significantly different from any of the other 802.11 enhancements that have been developed so far. It operates in an entirely different frequency band (60GHz), opening up new possibilities, and new challenges. Whereas all 802.11 technology to date has mainly been used as an underlying network technology, replacing wired TCP/IP networks over specified areas before making the final connection to the wired backbone, 802.11ad is designed to replace wired computer connectivity, like HDMI video connections and USB/PCI-e, with ultra high-speed wireless connections. This will make 802.11ad and “additional” technology rather than an “upgrade” technology, and 11ad and 11a/b/g/n/ac will need to co-exist, with 11ad providing the “local” connectivity (a personal area network if we can revisit that term) and 11a/b/g/n/ac providing the TCP/IP connectivity between local devices and to the wired backbone."...
"It’s because of the coexistence of 802.11ad and other 802.11 technologies that the merger of WiGig and WFA makes so much sense. Not only will 802.11ad equipment need to interoperate, but 802.11ad and other 802.11 networking technology also need to interoperate, so having all of this interoperability certified under a single, respected, and highly-successful organization like the WFA just makes so much sense. This will accelerate the delivery of 802.11ad technology to market, and give it the very best chance for success under a banner that is recognized world-wide, and simply assumed to be a part of all wireless equipment purchases, whether by consumers or by enterprises."
